They used to do this with my stupid fucking cat. Half the reason I let my wife get the thing was that I thought it would keep the magpies and crows away and I could actually get decent sleeps in spring and summer but no, this dumb asshole car decided to be friends with them and lay on his back with them while they screamed.

Mine hated magpies. First time we took him to my mothers house I heard some miaus smd found him on a rock in the middle of a little brook next to the house being mobbed by three magpies. And I had to rescue him. A little while later I saw the setup. One magpie was limping along being tracked by the cat. The second the cat jumped in the rock the other two immediately started mobbing him and the “wounded” would join in.
After that magpies were an arch enemy. A few years later I sat on my own porch, and this magpie was hopping around for probably 20-30 minutes when suddenly my fur missile came out if a bush next to the porch. He had bided his time and actually got both his paws all around the magpie who stated pecking his head. Think he was as surprised as the magpie as he actually let it go. (To my relief as I think he would haveoat an eye)
I saw that the magpies had learned and was more wary when they spotted him.

I used to have a video but that was forever ago.

if the cat gets hungry enough it’ll start to broaden its perspective on what can be food.
broaden it enough and it’ll include you, even.

Just keep in mind, you’re the one intruding on their environment. Don’t use a cat to kill the native birds. We’ve had many extinct species from us letting our cats out into the environment.

Cat owners generally don’t care.

Fun fact: many shelters in Germany won’t allow you to adopt a cat if it can’t go outside freely.
So I don’t have a cat. Do I worry about extinct birds or anything like that? No. Cats are native in Europe and I have shit tons of birds of prey (and storks) around here that catch way more birbs than the local cats do.
But I’ve had cats for years, and they’ve been poisoned (rat and antifreeze), hit by cars, hit by trains, and even shot by farmers. I kept my last cat inside.
My apartment and balcony are big enough. I’m looking at rescuing a couple of cats in Bulgaria because those rescue organisations insist you keep the cats inside. Sorry, German kitties.

Yeah, cats going outside is a risk to the cat itself, not just local wildlife.
